' Application filed April 36, 1927, Serial No. 188,019, and in Germany May 29, 1926.

In cream separators it is usual to have a milk tank mounted on a bracket on one side of the separator and the faucet regulating the milk flow arranged in thecenter of a supply funnel containing a float. It is necessary to place the milk tank so that the faucet always comes in the center of the supply funnel, but at the same time the bottom of the faucetmust be below the edge of the supply funnel in order to avoid splashing. When remov. ing or turning the milk tank it must therefore be lifted in order to go free of the edge.

The inventionis illustrated in the drawing, of which:

Figure 1 is an elevation of a cream separator embodying the improvement, and

Figure 2 isa similar View showing the milk tank elevated.

In the drawing, A is the milk tank, B the faucet, C the supply funnel, D and E the cream and skim milk trays E the support for the milk tank which rests on three or more branches K. G is the bottom ring of the milk tank and in this bottom ring are arranged notches H which fit in the branches K. The. notches are shaped so that when the milk tank is turned to one side it will raise and allow the cet and a bottom rim having notches, and a sub ortfor the tank normall en a 'in the notches of the tank, the tank being adapted to be turned to disengage the notches from the support and the'rebv raise the tank.
